What is JoyScreen?

Focus view, extra brightness, ambient glow, and keep awake — all from your menu bar. JoyScreen transforms how you use your Mac.

  • Blur distractions. Stay focused.
  • Boost brightness. Readable outdoors.
  • Add ambient glow. Look great in low light.
  • Keep your Mac awake. No interruptions.

Sound familiar?

  • Too many distractions: 15 open windows fighting for your attention. Slack, browser tabs, and notifications keep pulling you away.
  • Screen too dim outside: Squinting at your MacBook in a café or on a sunny day. Max brightness still isn't enough.
  • Look terrible on late-night calls: Dark room, bad lighting, grainy camera. You sound smart but look like a shadow.
  • Mac falls asleep at the wrong time: Presenting to clients, downloading a file, watching a tutorial — screen goes black. Again.

Four tools. One menu bar app.

Focus view. Blur the noise. See what matters.

Instantly blur all background windows so you can focus on what's in front of you. No more visual chaos — just you and your work.

  • Blurs inactive windows with adjustable intensity
  • Spotlight follows your mouse cursor
  • Toggle with a single hotkey

Screen glow. Save your late-night calls.

Add a soft glow around your screen that lights up your face. No ring light needed — look professional on video calls even in a dark room.

  • Adjustable color temperature
  • Customizable thickness and intensity
  • Improves camera quality in low light

Peak brightness. Brighter than Apple allows.

Go past 100% brightness. Finally see your screen in direct sunlight.

  • Up to 60% brighter than max
  • Readable outdoors, even on sunny days
  • Best on MacBook Pro, also works on other Macs

Keep awake. Your Mac stays awake. Period.

One click and your Mac won't go to sleep. No more interrupted presentations, paused downloads, or locked screens at the wrong moment.

  • Prevents display and system sleep
  • Menu bar icon shows status at a glance
  • Lightweight — zero CPU impact

  • Always at your fingertips: Click the icon in menu bar. Toggle what you need. Global hotkeys for power users. No complicated setup.
  • Multi-display ready: Works seamlessly across all your monitors. External displays, built-in screen — everything stays in sync.
  • Blazing fast native app: Built specifically for Apple Silicon. Lightweight, efficient, zero bloat. Just how Mac apps should be.
